I am not a fan of this feature either, I sure hope this change gets reversed soon!

The admins already know about my distaste for the "questions being closed" feature, when I have been ok with most of the other changes this site has made. I'm not one of those users that outrages at every little change GaG makes. In fact I don't think I have ever objected to a change to this site as strongly as this one.

For what it's worth I up-voted most everyone's opinions hoping that they get the message to fix things.

Usually, after any change to a social media site there will be people who complain but after a while they get used to it and stop complaining. In this case I think we should continue to complain until they fix these bass-ackwards updates.

One thing I've already noticed with these newest tweaks is that prior to today, you had to have at least 4 opinions to choose MHO or you had to wait at least 24 hours to do so. Now, it appears you have to wait 24 hours regardless. It's a very, very small step in the right direction.

Totally agree and keep that rage alive, trust me if enough people are pissed about and outraged about it for a long enough time they'll change it back, that's why they are giving us back the downvote option.

I actually like the idea with a question closes when you pick MHO. Since that would fuck the person who picks MHO extremely fast. Which would make me hope it would make those people stop picking MHO before it's even been 1day.

Though I do not like the fact that questions could be closed after 48 hours. If they have to close a question with or without MHO. I rather they would wait 5 days after it's been asked. Since normally after 5 days majority of questions are dead. With nobody adding anymore replies to them.

If anything the person who picked MHO that second is the one to blame. Since they are being the jackass for closing the question on purpose so soon. Which to me proves they are a crappy person to follow or to ever bother with their questions.

In your case they should try to fix it so if your already typing in the Opinion box. That you should be allowed to still send your comment. That the closed question part should only takes affect if you haven't clicked and are typing in the opinion box.

@kaylaS91 I could have sworn they did have something like that at one point. Though it never seemed like it worked. Still they should make it so that person can't pick MHO for 24 hours. Since some people take longer to see the question to begin with.

@Red_Arrow@Mustachekittehyeah, I remember that being a feature too. No clue why they did away with it prior to this update.. oftentimes leaving a MHO being chosen within 5 minutes on questions that received only had enough time to receive 1-2 opinions. x_x

Seriously most annoying thing ever. I am getting less answers for my questions now because of all of the new features and updates. On average I used to get a larger audience reading my questions and answering now it's like less than ten.

i'm more annoyed by private opinionsbut i understand where many people are coming from

it would be better if GaG gave users the power to close their own question or automatically close it after 2 weeks, whichever comes first. that way it would give people time to answer and prevent users from answers questions that are 3+ months old, something that's not uncommon

When I come across a question I want to answer and it's closed is the same feeling of me going to my favorite shoe store or whatever and see the sign "closed". "Oh no I have to go back home, I came for nothing :'( " or in this case " Ugh, I have to go back to the Live Feed, I clicked for nothing"Lol.
